This paper reexamines the previously studied question of uptake ratios of dissolved inorganic carbon and nitrate in plankton blooms. The author concludes that unless explicit justification is provided, nitrate consumption cannot be converted into community net production of particulate and dissolved organic carbon. 17 refs., 2 figs.
